Since the wind died down again we had to bring the Parasailor down. Why not stop for a quick bath ?? so we jumped into the water and had a short swim. No comparison to the canaries. The water has 27 degrees and you feel you could stay there for hours! GREAT! But now the wind should come back!

We had a good night with moderate wind an calm sea. Our average speed dropped to 6.8 since the start so we need more wind. And starting from tomorrow we should get that. I did not win a single game of Skip-Bo cards in the last 2 days, so i have to win tonight :-) We are currently doing 5.3 knots but we still hope that with more wind we are able to arrive in St. Lucia the 9th of December. Enclosed is a picture of todays sunrise.

We are currently doing around 4 knots since the wind has died down. The annoying part is, that the wind also changes direction so we have to move the sail from left to right then back to the middle then right then left and so on. This is not fun. We would rather want to have 20 knots again but they are already predicted for Saturday! Nevertheless we are having coffee right now and "Lebkuchenherzen" Christmascookies. This is the good part of christmas :-)
